Connected Construction: How Real-Time Data Sharing Improves Project Delivery
Infrastructure projects generate a constant flow of information between owners, consultants, inspectors, and contractors. When that information is managed through emails, spreadsheets, paper documentation, and disconnected systems, project teams can spend as much time finding, verifying, and re-entering information as they do acting on it.
This webinar will explore how technology and real-time data sharing can create a more connected approach to construction project delivery. Attendees will see how providing owners, consultants, contractors, and field personnel with access to current project information can improve communication, accelerate decisions, reduce duplicate effort, and provide greater visibility into project progress, costs, changes, documentation, and potential issues.
The session will examine practical strategies for creating a connected project environment where information captured by one participant can immediately support the decisions and activities of the entire project team.

Preservation of Asphalt: Solutions for Long-Term Pavement Performance
Roads cost more. Maintenance budgets don't keep pace. And a worst-first strategy quietly guarantees you'll fall further behind every year.
This 45-minute session shows county engineers an alternative path: pavement preservation through Maltene Replacement Technology. You'll learn why asphalt deteriorates the moment resurfacing ends, how rejuvenators differ chemically — and why that difference matters — and what independent data, including a three-year Minnesota DOT evaluation, reveals real-world performance.
You'll leave with hard numbers you can take to your board: 6.45 years of documented service-life extension, $18,574 average net benefit per lane-mile, and a 203% ROI. Stop managing the decline. Start deferring capital. Bring your toughest pavement questions.

Santa Cruz County Emergency Road Damage Assessment (ERDA):
A Data-Driven Approach to Disaster Recovery and Resilient Transportation Networks
When disasters strike, county engineers and public works professionals must make critical decisions quickly. Join us for an informative webinar showcasing Santa Cruz County's innovative Emergency Road Damage Assessment (ERDA) Tool, a transparent, GIS-enabled system designed to evaluate and prioritize road repairs following wildfires, severe storms, and other natural disasters.
Developed through collaboration between Public Works and county leadership, the ERDA Tool combines field assessments with climate adaptation and vulnerability data to create an objective, data-driven framework for prioritizing emergency repairs. By integrating factors such as traffic volume, detour impacts, critical facility access, lane loss, and infrastructure damage, the tool helps agencies allocate resources more effectively while improving transparency and public trust.
During this webinar, attendees will learn:
- How Santa Cruz County developed and implemented the ERDA Tool.
- How GIS technology and climate vulnerability data are integrated into emergency response planning.
- The scoring methodology used to assess and prioritize damaged roadways.
- How the tool supports equitable decision-making and faster recovery efforts.
- Lessons learned and opportunities for replicating the ERDA framework in other counties and jurisdictions.
Who Should Attend?
County Engineers, Public Works Directors, Transportation Officials, Emergency Management Professionals, GIS Specialists, Infrastructure Planners, and local government leaders responsible for disaster response and transportation resilience.
Why Attend?
Discover how a practical, data-driven approach can improve post-disaster decision-making, strengthen transportation resilience, and help communities recover faster while ensuring limited resources are directed where they are needed most.
Attendees will receive one (1) Professional Development Hour (PDH) for participating in this webinar.
